VeraSoft ES provides a low hardness value (185 Vickers) and very high elongation (24%), far exceeding that of other base-metal alloys. This yields excellent burnishability, allowing simple fabrication and time-saving adjustments in the laboratory or chair-side with the patient. VeraSoft ES polishes to a brilliant luster and unlike precious metals, VeraSoft ES has a low thermal conductivity to protect your patients against temperature sensitivity.
